One trick I pulled on mine was putting a diode between the high and low beam input wires. With the flow going towards the low beam side. This will make the low beams stay on when you hit the high beams. Really nice when you have quad lights.
I have always wondered why these were not this way factory. does anybody know? you have four lights why not have them on?
